Smith's Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology, Vol 1,
1867, p. 1042: "Dionysius, of Heracleia, а son of Тheophantus. In early life he was a disciple
of Heracleides, Alexinus, and Menedemus and afterwards also of Zeno the Stoic, who appears to
have induced him to adopt the philosophy of the porch...".
Brill's New Pauly: "Dionysius of Heraclea, Philosopher and student of
the Stoic Zeno of Citium [1. col. 10, 30-32]. He was born in the late 4th cent. BC and reached
the age of 80 years.....His interest in poetry led him to Aratus, and from there to the
teachings of the Stoa. His nickname was ‘the Apostate’ (ὁ μεταθέμενος
ho metathémenos)
because he renounced Stoicism and went over to hedonism: suffering due to disease caused him
to doubt the Stoic notion that pain does not matter in regard to happiness ..." Inwood, Brad
